THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN<br />
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)--Continued<br />
Capital and Debt Activities<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the critical factors in continuing the quality <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong>’s academic, research and<br />
clinical programs is the development and renewal <strong>of</strong> capital assets. The <strong>University</strong> continues to<br />
implement its long-range plan to modernize its complement <strong>of</strong> older facilities, along with<br />
balanced investment in new construction.<br />
Capital asset additions totalled $695 million in <strong>2010</strong>, as compared to $844 million in 2009.<br />
Capital asset additions primarily represent replacement, renovation and new construction <strong>of</strong><br />
academic, research, clinical, athletic and student residence facilities, as well as significant<br />
investments in equipment, including information technology. Current year capital asset<br />
additions were primarily funded with net assets and gifts designated for capital purposes <strong>of</strong><br />
$521 million, as well as debt proceeds <strong>of</strong> $172 million and state capital appropriations <strong>of</strong><br />
$2 million.<br />
Construction in progress, which totalled $546 million at June 30, <strong>2010</strong> and $786 million at June<br />
30, 2009, includes important new facilities for patient care, research, instruction, athletics and<br />
student residential life.<br />
At June 30, <strong>2010</strong>, construction continues on a new facility for C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital<br />
and Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital to meet increasing patient demand and accommodate<br />
future research, education and clinical care innovations. The new state-<strong>of</strong>-the art facility will<br />
further enhance specialty services for newborns, children and pregnant women, not <strong>of</strong>fered<br />
anywhere else in <strong>Michigan</strong>, including programs for Level I pediatric trauma, pediatric liver<br />
transplant, and crani<strong>of</strong>acial anomalies as well as high-risk pregnancy and specialty<br />
gynecological services. With a clinic building <strong>of</strong> nine floors and an inpatient building <strong>of</strong><br />
twelve floors, the new facility will be approximately 1.1 million square feet. After the new<br />
facility is completed in fiscal 2012, the existing C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Women’s<br />
Hospital will be used to benefit the entire Health System.<br />
Construction projects are also underway at the Law School. Legal education has changed<br />
considerably since Hutchins Hall, the main classroom and administrative building for the Law<br />
School, opened in 1933. Today's law students take a greater number <strong>of</strong> small classes, interact<br />
more with each other and with clients in supervised clinical settings, and draw heavily on<br />
technology. Located across Monroe Street and south <strong>of</strong> the Law Quad, a new four-story<br />
academic and administrative building is under construction to meet these needs, as well as<br />
provide more space for a student body which has more than doubled since the last time the Law<br />
School added classroom space. In addition, the new, two-level Robert B. Aikens Commons<br />
will occupy the currently unused grassy area between Hutchins Hall and the Legal Research<br />
Building. This structure will include a main floor café and a lower level designed to facilitate<br />
student meetings and study groups. This project also includes life safety upgrades to Hutchins<br />
Hall and the Cook Library. These projects are scheduled to be completed in fiscal 2012.<br />
